April 20 to June 8: Closure of northbound traffic on Seeds Road from South Meadows Drive to the City’s corporation limits.

June 9 to July 1: Two-way travel on Seeds Road between South Meadows Drive and Enterprise Parkway, northbound travel restrictions will remain in place south of Enterprise Parkway to the City’s corporation limits.

July 2 to August 11: Full closure of Seeds Road south of Enterprise Parkway to the City’s corporation limits, with access to local traffic only.

The Ohio Department of Transportation reports I-71, SR 104 and I-270 will experience various lane and ramp restrictions to reconstruct and widen I-71 between downtown Columbus and Stringtown Road through December 2020. Work includes replacing bridges, realigning and reconfiguring interchanges and intersections, rebuilding ramps and constructing noise walls.

The new Stringtown Road southbound ramp final configuration map.The project doesn’t modify the I-270 west to I-71 south ramp, but congestion will be reduced. The southbound traffic exiting at Stringtown Road will exit before getting to I-270, making it easier for the westbound to southbound traffic to merge without the weaving and jockeying for position with the Stringtown Road traffic.

All work is weather dependent; it may be postponed or cancelled without prior notice.
